"Under the careful watch of a surgeon, and with the machine disconnected, [Health and Human Services Secretary R.F. ]Kennedy Jr. briefly tested the teaching console of the renowned Cleveland Clinic’s robotic hands with a live patient splayed open for heart surgery in the room.”
The prestigious Cleveland Clinic should apologize to the Countty for allowing this to happen. It's disgusting to find they let this person in a surgery room with an ongoing surgery. It doesn't matter if he wasn't playing with a connected console. It matters that he was there at all. I would think patients might think twice about the Clevend Clinic's ethics. Will the patient sue?
